recording of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Read by Kristin Hughes. After hearing Mr. Enfield's account of a distressing event involving Edward Hyde, the heir of his friend, Henry Jekyll, John Utterson is convinced that Jekyll's relationship with Hyde is built on something sinister.
Utterson's concern for his friend is not unfounded but the reasons aren't quite what he, at first, believes.

What I appreciate most is that Robert Louis Stevenson doesn't talk down to you. The ideas are complex but explained in a way that respects your intelligence. Really rare.
Listened to this over a long weekend trip. By the time I got home I'd already recommended it to three people. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is just one of those books that sticks.
The narration quality on this is impressive. Clear, well-paced, and the tone matches the content perfectly. Makes a big difference when you're listening for hours.
I kept pausing to think about what I just heard. That's the mark of a good book for me — when it makes you stop and actually reflect. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde did that consistently.
